31 Days of Halloween - Eyeball Apothecary

You lucky ducks are getting two posts from me today and one has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HALLOWEEN. IT'S A HALLOWEEN MIRACLE. Look for that one later today.Am I the only one who frets about where to store eyeballs for Halloween? I mean, I need them somewhere close by... but not just in some box somewhere. What's a girl to do? Let's use that apothecary jar, shall we?First, if you don't have any eyeballs handy, you can make some with ping pong balls and some black acrylic paint.

I've gotta be honest, they're already freaking me out. I drew some red veins on the sides with a red Sharpie.

And then, I piled 'em in my jar. Aren't they lovely?

I have to say though, the great thing about ping pong balls is that they are kind of see-through... so when you add a glow stick to the mix...

Oh, I have GOT to do this for our (5 and 8 year old) grandsons who are coming out this weekend. Wouldn't they love walking into their bedroom at night and seeing all those glowing eyeballs staring back at them! Love it!! :-D
